Mastering the Development of Smart Products
Products are getting smarter. Today’s “smart” products leverage an intelligent
combination of mechanical, electrical, and software to deliver capabilities that simply
weren’t achievable with traditional approaches. Products are more responsive, adaptable,
interconnected, and portable than ever. The trend is significant. As Tech-Clarity’s
Developing Software-Intensive Products indicates, manufacturers have not only
increased the amount of software in products over the last five years, but “the importance
of software in products and the level of product innovation driven by software have also
increased significantly.”
